The UK’s first AI-powered physiotherapy clinic, Flok Health, is expanding across eleven NHS regions, offering same-day digital appointments for patients experiencing back pain and other musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions.
Delivered through a smartphone app, the service enables patients to complete automated video consultations with an AI physiotherapist. The system evaluates symptoms, determines suitability for digital treatment, and provides personalised exercise and pain management programmes.
“Patients can pick it up and do their exercises at a time that suits them, rather than running around or taking time off work to get to appointments,” Finn Stevenson, CEO and co-founder of Flok Health, told Building Better Healthcare.
The service is now available in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Airedale, South Yorkshire (Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield), Northamptonshire, and three London boroughs, extending access to more than 2.4 million patients.
The expansion comes as NHS England continues to encourage the adoption of digital solutions to help manage growing demand for MSK services.
